and low value.<br />

Men should make all their movements more planned, deliberate, and purposeful. Leaning in too much,<br />

also referred to as “pecking” forward, is a big fault most men make. Leaning back will force others to<br />

engage you, instead of the other way around. Talking quietly also has the affect of forcing people to<br />

move closer to you, thereby increasing your status but if done too frequently appears submissive and<br />

unconfident.<br />

and genuine interest and try to build others around them up, but at the same time force them to work for<br />

their approval. Most everyone has a sore spot for validation and if you can become a root to their<br />

confidence, then they will seek you for approval which gives you the power. However, men shouldn’t<br />

be afraid to show interest either. <strong>Body</strong> language like verbal language is a negotiation.
